My name is Alvin!

Meet Alvin!

Alvin is one of 38 guinea pigs rescued from the most horrific hoarding case that we have seen. Many did not survive, so when we say he is one of the lucky ones, we mean it.

Because of the sheer number of animals seized from the home, these 38 were rescued and transported to Southern California. Of the 38, 20 were female, and they were all transferred to the Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue. The remaining boys, including Alvin have been fostered by piggy hero Ann, in her loving home.

When all of these guinea pigs were rescued, they were very thin, dirty, had long curling nails and needed a LOT of TLC.
Ann and her family have provided such wonderful care to the boys and we feel that they are not ready for their forever homes.

Alvin is approximately 8-12 months old.
He currently lives solo next to one of the other boys.
We think he would do well in an ADULT only home, or home with only older kids/teens.
The ideal home would have other guinea pigs that he could live next to, either your own existing pigs or one of the other solo surviving boys.
If you have a calm older single male, baby male or spayed female piggy he could be paired.
The ideal home also has to understand that these pigs have been through alot.
They are shy and just now learning how to be cared for properly.

If you can open your heart and home and can vow to cherish and care for him for the rest of his life, please contact us.

Take a look at the video to understand what they lived in.
